FAQ
What spacing should I use?
The default is 5 mm β common for notes and journals. Use 1β2 mm for detailed engineering sketches and 10 mm or more for children learning to write. Setting "Bold every N cells" to 5 or 10 makes the major grid easy to read.
Can I get dashed or dotted grids?
Yes. "Line style" offers solid, dashed and dotted, and combined with line weight and colour you can go from a faint fine grid to a bold dark one.
Why are the printed dimensions wrong?
If your print dialogue has "Fit to page" enabled or scaling below 100%, the whole grid is scaled down. Set scaling to 100% / "Actual size", and tick the calibration ruler in the generator, then measure the 5 cm mark with a ruler. PDF dimensions are locked in the file, so they are the safest option.
Should I choose PDF, PNG or SVG?
Use PDF for printing and millimetre accuracy, PNG for documents and web sharing, and SVG for vector editing. Templates with Chinese tracing characters are exported as high-resolution raster PDFs so the glyphs stay intact; for vector-quality tracing, use "Print β Save as PDF".
Can I change the page size, colours and line weight?
Yes. The common settings cover page size (A4 / A5 / B5 / 16K / Letter / custom), orientation, margins, binding margin, background colour, page numbers, watermark and logo. Graph Paper also has its own options in the "Template settings" panel.
Does anything I type or upload get sent to a server?
No. Generation, preview and export all happen inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
